The 1993 saga of
the killing of a terrorist couple in West Bengal by the Punjab Police
has taken a new turn with the sister of the male victim - Punjab Police
constable turned militant Bashir Mohammed - claiming that her brother
was picked up from his native village in Punjab and killed at Tiljala in Calcutta.

Hassan Bibi also says that her husband Sadiq Mohammed has
been missing since he was picked up by the Punjab Police. A complaint
has now been registered with the National Human Rights Commission.

Earlier the Supreme Court, acting on a public-interest writ petition,
had ordered the suspension of two officers and four constables of the
Punjab Police.

The investigation report submitted to the Court said an
armed party carrying Stenguns and walkie-talkie sets, and speaking in
Punjabi, had shot the couple dead at the flat in which they were
staying. The policemen then carried away the bodies without informing
local authorities.
